Just installed this and the electronic Filter Life Meter is not working. The booklet says it has a lifetime battery installed. Any ideas?

It only displays the usage while water is running through the filter, and for about 5 seconds after the tap is shut off. The display is a little hard to see, I have to lean down to read it. If yours doesn't display at all, something is wrong--I didn't do anything to set it up.

That's a function of the filter cartridge. Be sure it's in right. It ought to have zeros on the display

If it doesn't turn on while it's running water through, it's probably defective.

how old is unit??---maybe you need a new battery ******************* do you leave the led light on camera on a lot??? ---- this will drain battery faster ********** a friend of minehad same problem a lot --- so he uses the battery from his lawn tractor (since doesn't use lawn tractor during winter) just be careful not to tip this battery - as it will leak.I do the same now and solved the problem. GOOD LUCK FISHING!!!!!

I replaced the filter with no problem. When I did so there was an audible "click". The only suggestion I would make is check the filter to make sure it's the right one.

If it isn't a low battery, it's probably gotten wet inside... try popping off the top (like you're replacing the battery) and just leaving it out to dry a bit. After an aggressive session with mine, I will find it a little soggy inside, and the meter will eventually show some numbers then fade away when turned on. Popping off the top and leaving it out a couple dozen hours seems to do the trick.

On some models, the battery is behind a small rubber wedge, directly below the faucet handle. That means below the sink. CR2354, + side up. The battery life is expected to last one year, however, for heavy use the battery may need to be replaced sooner. Light is green for the life of the filter, red at suggested replace time, either 6 months or sooner. To reset the electronic monitor during replacement of filters, remove and reinsert battery. I saw an online manual here, see page 8: http://www.freshwatersystems.com/specifications/watts-WP-RO4-manual.pdf

It should work without you buying batteries. There is no battery to install. Did you press the "on" button? If it does not come up 000, you have a faulty water tester. Send it back.

Don't even bother. When my battery finally went on my last one I took it to a battery store.When they opened it up there were about 10 small batteries all wired together in a way that a layman cannot replace and for them to replace them cost more than a new unit. Throw it out,save the filter for back up and buy new!

After about a year of operation on my filter I noticed some water at the bottom of the gauge...pulled it out...shook the water out...after awhile it returned...shortly later the gauge stopped working altogether (would not register...just stayed at 0)....so I would say, from my experience at least, water in the gauge is a sign that the gauge is getting ready to die.

What I did was vacuum the actual blue filter thoroughly as it really didn't look very dirty even though I got a "change filter" message. Then I washed the plastic grid piece it fits into thoroughly and let it dry. I reassembled it and still got a change filter message. However, I discovered there is a tiny "reset filter" hole near the top of the inside of the unit where you place the filter. I stuck a paperclip in the hole and pushed, and now it's behaving as if it has a brand new filter! I think maybe if this is done on a regular basis that you can get a lot more use out of this unit, even though the filters are "no longer available."

Check your rubber seal and make sure it fits properly. There should be no leaks, turned on or off. Maybe have a bad unit, or just a bad seal. Mine has worked fine, but I use mine for polishing and not for the main filter.

Hello. You just need to hold down the filter button until it resets. That should work!

Actually,I have not been able to get mine to do anything. I have to probably read the instructions better. so far, it has done nothing. Not much help to you! Sorry!I do believe once I get it figured out,all it counts is the date and when to change the filter.

The replacement light simply runs on a timer so it is likely just a coincidence that it came on now. There are no sensors that measure the quantity of water through the filter or quality or water output. Simply reset the filter reminder on the panel and wait till the next time that it comes on to replace.

Mine has quit working too. We have used citric acid, cleaned the filters, etc.

Not sure what you mean? Mine appears to be working as expected - still collecting dust per my black filter

My light had stopped working too. There is a battery in them. I bought a brand new one and that ones light didn't work. I called brita and they told me that depending on how long it was on the shelf that battery could have worn out. I also changed my filter one time on the new one and no light. I thought that was the end of it. I just write the date on the back of it. When I changed it again....the light came back. So strange.

I am not an appliance technician. Possibly the problem is with the o-ring seal. Not the filter. If you still have the old one try swapping the o-ring from the filter you removed. Other than that I have no idea.
